VENDETTA | VKOOK

┌TWENTY FOUR┐

Jungkook giggled, a little bit of icing being smeared on his cheek by Jin, who was also laughing at the boy fondly.

"You're finally 12, Koo! What wish did you make when you blew out the candles?" Namjoon asked, ruffling Jungkook's hair.

"If I told you, it wouldn't happen!" Jungkook said, giggling at him. Namjoon pursed his lips in fake sadness but then chuckled at the cute boy who was overly excited to be surrounded by gifts and cake.

He knew what his wish was. His wish was for a good year where no one is mean to him! He knows it sounds a little far-fetched, but he doesn't know why everyone is always in such a bad mood. Everyone just needs to lighten up a little.

He's always a little scared of the boys, if he's honest. If he messes up, he gets yelled at by his brother or Namjoon or his father until he's reduced to nothing but a puddle of his own tears. All he wants is for them to not yell mean things at him. That's all.

"Do you wanna open the gifts?" Hoseok asked, and Jungkook nodded hurriedly, seeing some gifts wrapped in red and yellow wrapping paper. It made Jungkook oh-so-happy! To see that the boys actually took the time out of their busy days to buy Jungkook a gift!

Yoongi grabbed one of the gifts and placed it onto Jungkook's hands. Before Jungkook could open it, the door to the living room burst open and in walked Junghyun, a cocky smirk on his face.

"Jungkook! Happy Birthday little brother. I've got you a gift too." Junghyun said loudly, making Jungkook look at him with big eyes.

His 15 year old brother- who never gave him the time of day- got him a gift for his birthday? That was.. very new. He never even wished him.. let alone buy him a gift.

Nonetheless, Jungkook was excited. "Oh! Really? Thank you!" Jungkook squeaked in awe, seeing the wrapped gift Junghyun was holding. It was a big rectangular shaped box, so Jungkook got more giddy.

"Open mine first." Junghyun said, holding the box out.

"But Yoongi gave me his-"

"I said open mine first, Jungkook." Junghyun snapped, so Jungkook nodded and placed Yoongi's gift on the floor beside him, grabbing Junghyun's

The other boys looked confused as well.. as it wasn't like Junghyun to do something like this. They all had a bad feeling, and saw as Junghyun smirked and leaned against the wall next to the sofa, taking out a cigarette and lighter.

"Junghyun, no smoking. You're only 15-"

"Stop telling me what to do, Namjoon. I'm not a kid anymore." Junghyun, turning his attention back to Jungkook, letting out a smoke.

Jungkook ripped open the package in excitement, hearing more footsteps enter the room. He looked up and saw his father. Everyone was here! Jungkook had never been so happy. He never got attention or love. This was a first.

Jungkook opened the package quickly, hearing his father walk closer to them. Jungkook took the box out and opened it, ruffling through the paper inside, before finding the gift.

The moment Jungkook saw it, Junghyun burst into laughter, clutching his stomach tightly. The boys rolled their eyes or pursed their lips in upset. Jin looked at Junghyun angrily- but then looked back down when he saw Jungkook's father chuckling as well.

Jungkook's eyes were big, cheeks flushed. It was a dress. A pink dress. With frills and fluffy shoulders and lace trimmings. Jungkook bunched the dress up and put it back into the box, feeling a pang in his stomach upon seeing his brother laugh.
